Maya Ceremony
Originally uploaded by Lake Atitlan.

This painting of a Maya ceremony depicts the Cachikel of Panajachel, Guatemala, with a very traditional marimba. The older marimbas have gourds hanging below, while the newer ones have sounding tubes made from wood. They resonate like the pipes on a pipe organ.

A bit of marimba music.
